the shorter lengths of pipe used as rocker
and stub connectors to secure them
into the main framework. Ridgistorm-XL
manholes are modular, ready-to-install
access points that can be integrated
anywhere in the drainage network
system. At the Haughton Road site, they
will effectively control surface run-off
flow and facilitate easy access for future
inspection and maintenance.
Rosie Cheetham, Marketing Consultant at
Polypipe, said, “We were delighted that
Hewitson Limited and the project team
approached us to supply an alternative,
efficient, and cost effective drainage and
attenuation solution for the Haughton
Road site. Our high level of dedicated
service and consistent communication
with all parties, coupled with our
technical expertise, proved a great
success.
We were able to deliver a solution that
was perfectly adapted to meet both the
system requirements of Northumbrian
Water, and the drainage and attenuation
needs of the residential site. This project
highlights just how adaptable our
Ridgistorm-XL system can be in meeting
challenging or unusual requirements, with
our engineers able to work closely with
contractors to find an effective solution,
without reducing system integrity.”
Pat O’Neill, Contract Manager at Tolent
Living, said, “We selected Polypipe’s
Ridgistorm-XL system for the Haughton
Road development because it is quick
and easy to install, which was of great
importance to our project schedule.
Overall, the system is lighter in weight
and more manageable than concrete
solutions, which offered significant safety
benefits for installers on-site. “
